Man, 66, found with life-threatening injuries in his home in Herne, Germany. Police set up a murder squad due to the massive injuries.
Victim's condition has now stabilized, but he could not be interviewed. Neither the missing body part nor an instrument of the crime have been recovered, a police spokesman said on Thursday. The victim himself has not yet been able to provide any information that would help investigators understand what might have happened, he said. The police and public prosecutor's office are now hoping for information from witnesses.
